The Minnesota Wild picked up a 4-2 win over Edmonton to start a 2 game West Coast Back to Back on a winning note. The Wild took the lead on Matt Boldy’s 21st goal of the season after a Joel Eriksson Ek goal was waived off earlier in the period. Leon Draisaitl tied the score in the second on his 28th goal of the season. The Wild reclaimed the lead in the third on Jonas Brodin’s 5th goal of the season, and added to it on Boldy’s second goal of the game to make it 3-1. After the Oilers scored to cut the lead to 3-2, Mats Zuccarello scored to seal the win with the Oilers net empty. Filip Gustavsson was outstanding all night, stopping 41 of 43 shots en route to the win. The Wild play Seattle tomorrow night to complete the back to back.

Regarding the chance for the. 3 stars of the week
Kaprizov has 9 points
Erickson ek has 8 points
Boldy has 6 points
With one game remaining
This could be the first time NHL history
One line gets the three stars of the week,, I sure hope so
In this last draft I wanted the Wild to take either Pearreault, Musty, Cristall, or Heidt with their first round pick. They went with stramel and Pearreault/Musty went soon after. Cristall went early in the second. I have no idea how Heidt dropped so far. I thought he could fall to the second but not all the way to the last pick of that round. Wild got a steal for sure.
If Edmonton didn't sleepwalk threw half the game they probably could a won
And I can't see Edmonton making it outa second round again unless the d and goalie get hot at the right time
Freddy g works his butt off but I just don't think he's all that good.
Чисхольм отлично играет . Можно про него рассказать в седующем выпуске . Раскажите ваши впечатления от его игры .Меня он очень впечатлил .Надеюсь его оставят в основе .
Greater good? Oh my. Here we are. A push for the playoffs and then one and done…IF they make it. Yeah. An 0fer for the Wild power play and no stops on the Oilers PP. Mmm. Mercy Lord.
I have to ask…. Why do you say the Wild pick up a win against an Oilers team you should beat? They have way more talent. Are still a favorite to win the cup and ard playing way better than the wild right now. I know we have had the Ollers number lately buy I'm confused by the statement. I think you should credit the Wild for beating a great team.
Guerin buying is a fait accompli.
I don't recall anyone saying that a top-5 pick was a realistic goal. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, just that I don't remember it. And let's be honest, the teams that are going to get those picks are much worse than the Wild.
I continue to find the peer pressure angle interesting, and not in a good way. By that I mean the "criticism" that you/your show is "too negative". Obviously, given my prior comments on how being realistic is ultimately more beneficial to the audience (even to those who aren't necessarily Wild fans), I wholeheartedly disagree with that "criticism", not only because it isn't accurate, but because it doesn't appear to be in good faith.
So I hope you jump off the fence, especially since we agree that the Wild making the playoffs is a fool's errand.
Seth congratulations on 2400 subscribers,,, also your the most popular podcast for the Wild after the game, which is huge,, again congrats
Im not much for the "deserve to win o meter" but wow, we didnt deserve that one lol
Thanks again man!
Honest question….do you think Billy G will have to ADD to the dead cap total by having to buy out Freddy and/or JoJo and to make room for Yurov and Dinov? Especially after they both get to MN and play lights out better than those scrubs.
JoJo seems to be playing good enough to save his job…but the way I see it, these 2 passengers are stealing $$ from fans and the franchise, and need to be dealt with swiftly.
I liked what Hynes said about Gus. Said his compete was up and fighting through screens. A couple of those goals last time…he wasnt doing that. One of the screen goals he actually leaned out of postion and left net nearly wide open.
I have no idea how long they can stay in playoff range with Foligno and Maroon out but it appears the PK is still more than suspect once again as always in their last two or so years. If I were to name a song after The Wild that typifies them hmmm “Smells Like Tease Spirit”?
